Floating profile menu
Broadjam recently updated the menu on the member profile page to a floating-style menu. If you haven't seen it yet, log in to Broadjam and go to your profile page. Then, look down to the left-hand corner of your browser and you'll see the profile menu separated in to four sections. Hover over each of the sections and you'll see the menu expand. This menu stays in the same place as you scroll up and down your profile page, giving you easier access to your menu items. We think this makes the Broadjam interface easier so you can have more time to make music!
